The woody boot-floppies package doesn't use base2_2.tgz anymore. The installation manual's been updated, see http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/inst all.en.html You will also need to reproduce the directory structure of the ftp site, from current on down. So put the files you downloaded in current/powermac/images-1.44, and also download drivers.tgz into the powermac folder as it is on the mirror. *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman | | `- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
